Some of those combos are fairly nice.

"A man who can imitate a Spanish squirrel helping forty-eight men mow a meadow is capable of anything." Captain Martin Crieff, Cabin Pressure
Not a single Nevaeh or McKeighleigh. I'm disappointed.

My husband worked for a male Blaze. People would come into the resturant and try to pretend they knew Blaze to try to get seated without a reservation and say things, like "We have known Blaine (or Blake) for so long..."
His daughter's name was Bree.

I wonder if it was short for Brianna.
The daughter of a couple my husband plays tennis with is named McKenzie. FWIW, the couple is half-American, half-Puerto Rican, and the girl is awfully cute--she's as cute as a kitten.

I wonder when (if?) Brigid will make it onto this like the SS list or the name wizard.

You are the Proust of TPW, and we all prefer J.K. Rowling. -j. ross
Tolkien Raymond Francis (Caleb)
Poor Tolkien. Maybe he'll be a Tolly, though.
Mark Boswell is a nice combo.

Bebe, how is Adelyn pronounced? I'm distantly related to a baby AID-uh-lynn.

The only "Blaze" I ever met spells it Blaise.

MOTHER: Don't you remember? We do NOT use ADJECTIVES!
Evaskye
I first tried to figure out which nationality this was and then I mentally inserted a hyphen (Eva-Skye) and realized it was just stupid.
Owen Alexander
This was the combo I wanted for Julia, had she been a boy and our last name not begun with F.

Live from New York!
IRISH! woohoo! I wonder how it's pronounced.

No wonder I slipped, and fell, and died,/Soaked by Zeus outside,/Soaked by Bacchus within./The odds were two to one/And they were gods.
I read a memoir called "Raising Blaze" about a single mom and her son.
The author lives in the same city as me, and for a moment I thought, maybe it's him! and then realized he must be in high school by now. Duh.
According to one of those baby-name sites, Blaze is nearly 100% a male name. Blech.

Blaze makes me think of Blazes Boylan in Ulysses. But I'm guessing that's probably not the reference these parents were after...

Short A - rhyming with Madeleine (at least, in my mind!).

That's how I was pronouncing Adelyn, until I was told I was wrong.

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Met last week: Odilia. She was Italian, and I loved it.
Overheard: Ayelish. I'm probably spelling it wrong.

I would guess the Catholic Blazes/Blaises are after St. Blaise.

What Tiny Frogs.
Born yesterday to friends: Reef. Middle name, Alexandra, last name, very common/whitebread four-letter monosyllabic H noun. They'd been expecting a boy so it was a big surprise!
I should hate this, but I don't, somehow. I think it might suit the family (somewhat successful artist dad) and I think the whole shebang will pass the various adult dignity bars.

I think it would work better for a boy.

Reef sounds like Reese with a speech impediment.
But she can be R. Alexandra if she wants.
